A Simple Man

A thousand years of sleep
 I've missed the rising sun
 Wish I could change this
 Always the same
 With each one, every night
 I'd watch as the light
 Slowly fades from their eyes
 Ohh so long
 Long ago
 What he took
 Then gave to me
 There is no end
 It's not what I thought it'd be
 Left drained felt impaired
 The eyes drew me inside
 Hypnotic waltz from his stare
 Letting go
 Ohh I still love
 With the night will arrive
 The cobblestones
 Light misty air
 The brief carress
 Our sweet affair
 Ohh so long
 Long ago
 I was just like any of you
 A Simple Man
 There was nothing I could do
 But I've grown so tired
 There's no need to hold on
 If you hear me
 Just wanna be
 Be the man I was
 Please believe
 If I could
 I would change
 One thousand years
 And still I am
 Looking like the day
 This all began
 Ohh so long
 Long ago
 What he took
 Then gave to me
 Take it back
 And give back the man in me
 I'm going on my way
 I'm going where there's no desire
 Goin on where I'll stay higher than now
 I want what you have taken
 My life has been forsaken
 Many nights I lay torn I'm breaking down
 Why all this began
 What's there to care for
 Fade away
